Olympics Breakfast Briefing with SIR STEVE REDGRAVE: Tommy Fleetwood is just one shot off the lead, Lizzie Deignan is set to make history – and Louie Hinchcliffe looks to spring a major shock in men’s 100m

Reports of Team GB’s demise in rowing were grossly exaggerated, despite the team being on a medal-packing run on the eighth day in Paris.

After failing to win a single gold medal in rowing at the Tokyo Olympics, the British team came back with a vengeance to achieve a record number of medals at an overseas Games. The men’s and women’s eights won gold and bronze respectively, meaning Team GB finished with three gold, two silver and three bronze medals in rowing.

Elsewhere, Team GB added four more medals to their total tally, taking their tally to 33 at the halfway point of the Games.

After all the excitement of day eight, Sir Steve Redgrave looked ahead to the spectacle that awaits him on day nine, with possible medal chances in golf, dressage, swimming, cycling and even the 100 metres.

Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood is just one stroke behind leader Jon Rahm going into the final round, which starts on Sunday morning.

In the pool, the British men’s 4x100m medley relay team hopes to do better than they did in Tokyo. In cycling, Lizzie Deignan is on course to become the first female cyclist to compete in four Olympic Games.

She will take part in the road race which will take place on Sunday afternoon around 1 p.m.

Becky Moody, Charlotte Fry and Carl Hester advance to the dressage final, which starts at 9am, after winning bronze in the team final on Saturday.

The athletics programme is in full swing with a host of British favourites staking their claim on day nine. Keely Hodgkinson is hoping to ease into the 800m final, along with Jemma Reekie and 17-year-old Phoebe Gill.

Team captain Josh Kerr will compete in the semi-finals of the men’s 1500m, while Matt Hudson-Smith will make his debut in the 400m.

Fans should make sure they don’t miss the semi-final and final of the men’s 100m at the Stade de France later in the evening. The event is a highlight of any Games, but there is an unexpected British hopeful looking to make history.

Young Louie Hinchliffe put in a stunning performance on Saturday to beat favourite Noah Lyles in his heat and is now a strong contender for a medal – if he makes it to the semi-finals.

Zharnel Hughes also hopes to be at the start for the final, which starts around 9 p.m.

Mail Sport and the National Lottery have joined forces to bring you exclusive video content from our top Olympian Sir Steve Redgrave every day during the Olympic Games in Paris.

Sir Steve won five gold medals in an illustrious career and is regarded by many as our greatest Olympic hero. In 1996, Team GB won just one gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics – and Steve, along with Matthew Pinsent, delivered it for the nation.

This was in an era before the introduction of National Lottery funding, which transformed the fortunes of our British athletes. Thanks to National Lottery players, Team GB are now a superpower on the world stage, winning 22 gold medals and 64 medals at the last Olympic Games in Tokyo.
